DMCA Compliance Statistics
Everybody and their dog releases DMCA request statistics (about which RIAA does not give a shit apparently) — so we figured we also should show people that we are warm and fuzzy and comply to DMCA.
Please note that we've started storing detailed takedown requests information rather recently — numbers shown reflect requests we've recieved since December 2011. We were processing takedowns before that, of course — just did not store statistics.
Requests We've Complied To: 1,848,392
Number above is the number of torrents that were deleted from our index. Grand total. Proof that we are good. Look at it once more.
So, on average we comply to (which means, log, analyze, remove content and respond by e-mail) to 1692 DMCA requests per day, give or take.
Top-100 DMCA Senders
It's not a secret that there's a whole new industry of racketeering — known as "intellectual property protection services" grown in recent years in the internets.
Table below displays top hundred of DMCA request senders (basically, companies profiting from alledged copyright infringment by "protecting" from it).
We log contents of From header in incoming emails — results may seem a bit messy, as some companies (muso.com is the nastiest one) actually forge e-mail headers (to make e-mail appear more official?). Still, it's an interesting piece of data, enjoy.
P.S. Our DMCA Policy is available here if you're looking for a way to add your name to this list.
